To ensure faithful segregation of the genetic material, during mitosis the cell assembles the mitotic spindle, a macromolecular machine made of dynamic microtubules and associated proteins. Spindle microtubules are assembled de novo by the centrosomes and through the RanGTP pathway that is sufficient for spindle self-organization. In this thesis I used a proteomics approach to study the RanGTP pathway induced microtubules and spindle self-organization and I propose that it occurs through a multi-step mechanism. I then addressed how the centrosomal and acentrosomal microtubule assembly pathways are integrated to build the bipolar spindle. My data suggest that, in small cells, centrosome maturation defines an optimal and essential balance bet...
